The Cisco Environmental Management System is a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving Cisco processes and actions to meet its environmental obligations. It serves as a vehicle to ensure that activities, products, and services conform to the ISO 14001 standard and environmental requirements.
ISO 14001 Overview: What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard for environmental management systems. ISO 14001 was first published in 1996 by the International Organization for Standardization and is reviewed periodically. ISO 14001 provides a single, world-wide framework for environmental management systems and serves as the basis for 3rd party auditing and certification of ISO 14001 programs. An ISO 14001 environmental management system is a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving of an organization's management system, environmental aspects and impacts on the environment, environmental programs and commitment to environmental regulatory compliance.
